The night was getting late, the moonlight shone on the surface of Arjuna's forest.

The sound of the night insects answered in response, including the sounds of the
nocturnal animals around Arya Kamandanu's house.
"Brother must have not eaten yet!", said Sekar to the snake-scaled youth named
Jambu Nada.
Jambu Nada heard that unexpectedly, the voice in her stomach answered. His stomach
growled for a moment.
"Hihihihi, hihihihi,!", the beautiful girl laughed to get an answer from the voice
of Guava's stomach.
"Yes, bro, cook first!", replied Jambu Nada blushed.
Guava Nada moved from the small table towards the back. Right into the kitchen.
After arriving in the kitchen, Jambu Nada started to process the ingredients and a
few pieces of deer meat to be eaten that night. Don't forget to peel the cassava
skin and boil it.
Meanwhile, the beautiful girl seemed to be cleaning the floor of the house, the
table, some shelves, the couch and also tidying up some things in the corners of
all the rooms of the house.
A meal of rice then,
On the small table that had been served several large pieces of grilled deer meat,
boiled cassava and ginger wedeng.
"Wow, you are an expert in cooking. It smells good and makes you want to eat again.
Even though before he came here, Sekar had eaten!�, said Sekar, sniffing Jambu
Nada's food.
"Come on Dinda!", asked Jambu Nada who was sitting cross-legged beside the table.
"Sis first, you haven't eaten yet if Sekar had eaten before coming here. Sekar has
almost finished tidying up some flower containers in the corner of the room!�, said
Sekar back to one corner of the room while placing a container filled with wild
roses that still looked fresh.
"Hahahaha, bro, wait for the dinda to finish tidying the corner of the room. Kakang
has not eaten food alone with Dinda!", replied Jambu.
"Okay bro. Just be patient!", said Sekar, feeling happy to hear Jambu Nada's reply.
He also had not seen each other for a long time and enjoyed the day with Jambu
Nada.
He has not been to this house for almost two full moons because he is busy helping
Nini Peyot, the neighbor next to his right house. The left side of Nini Penyot's
house was hit by an tamarind tree that fell on part of the body of the house. There
are no other neighbors because their house is quite far from the other neighbors.
There are only two houses around the corner, namely Sekar's house and Nini Peyot's
house, the only occupant, because Nini Peyot has no family anymore since their
village was raided by robbers a dozen years ago. And that led to the killing of
Nini Peyot's husband and two sons who fought the vicious robbers.
Sekar is very close to Nini Peyot, so the accidental fall of the tamarind tree
forced Nini Peyot to stay temporarily at Sekar's house. Every day Sekar alone
repairs Nini Peyot's house for almost two full moons.
"Muach, don't you eat it!", asked Sekar suddenly.
Obviously Jambu Nada was like being electrocuted. What not. The pink lips that were
always wet landed on his forehead. Indeed, before they got older, they had been
very close since they were little like siblings. If Jambu Nada did something for
Sekar then Sekar would kiss him. However, Sekar has never done that since they grew
up.
Now after several years, Sekar gave Jambu Nada the same kiss. But the kiss felt
very different from their childhood kiss.
Jambu Nada just watched the wet little lips move to and fro as her mouth chewed on
the grilled deer meat.
"Brother, eat!", said Sekar.
You know, half a piece of Sekar's deer meat went into his mouth. Inevitably Guava
Nada eats it.
"How about this kakang, if you don't eat it, it will be a waste!", said Sekar
again.
As before, the remaining pieces of grilled deer that Sekar had eaten were bribed to
Jambu Nada.
A meal of rice then,
All the pieces of grilled deer meat have been sold out, and Jambu Nada especially
Sekar eats them.
Jambu Nada realized that all the dishes on the table were gone, including boiled
cassava and ginger wedeng, except for containers made of woven bamboo.
"Well, when you're full, your mind becomes bright and calm!" Sekar exclaimed and
then took all the containers to the furniture washing area on the left side of the
kitchen.
Jambu Nada got up from the table and walked out of the house. On the left side of
the house there is a yellow bamboo couch. Guava Nada sat on the edge of the couch
looking out. Where the yard looks bright bathed in moonlight.
For a long time, Jambu Nada enjoyed the night atmosphere of Arjuna's forest in
front of his house with the right feeling of fullness. Not full and not lacking.
"Hem has been here long enough, the cool night air is starting to penetrate the
skin of the body. Ah, just sleep!�, thought Jambu Nada then got off the couch and
entered the house.
Don't forget Jambu Nada closing the front door and several windows on the left and
right walls of the house. After that, Jambu Nada stepped into the kitchen.
"Ah, where is Dinda Sekar, can't you see him here?", thought Jambu Nada, asking
herself.
"Oh, I forgot to add the deer thigh meat!", murmured Jambu Nada.
Guava Nada to the back of the house. There the atmosphere is also almost the same
as the atmosphere in front of his house. The young man hurried over to the flat
wooden table where the slaughterhouse was.
On the flat wooden table lay two pieces of deer thigh meat which he last cleaned
and forgot to put in its place.
He took the two pieces of fat deer thigh meat and immediately brought it in. Don't
forget to close the back door and lock it using the latch from behind the inner
door.
"Ah, this supply of meat is quite good. Enough for the next week. Oh yes, I forgot
to ask Dinda Sekar about wild boar fat oil. Tomorrow the torches won't light if
they aren't refilled with wild boar oil!� thought Jambu Nada.
"Dinda, dinda, dinda, dinda!", called Jambu Nada from the kitchen.
In silence, Sekar did not answer Jambu Nada's call.
"Dinda, dinda, dinda, dinda!", again Jambu Nada called the beautiful virgin.
But the result is still the same. There was no answer from the beautiful virgin
named Sekar.
"Well, Sekar's dinda quickly disappeared. Has he returned to his house, but didn't
he say earlier that he had been staying here for a week. Oh don't - don't dinda
Sekar is sleeping soundly!", murmured Jambu Nada.
Immediately Jambu Nada went to his father's room, Arya Kamandanu. He opened the
door, which was made of small woven bamboo, as big as his little finger. He tilted
his head and looked into his father's room. There is no Sekar.
"Hadeh where is he?", murmured Jambu Nada.
It is not unusual for Sekar to stay in this house. Often the beautiful virgin
stayed in this house temporarily with her father, when Arya Kamandanu and Jambu
Nada went hunting for a long time. Usually Sekar and his father sleep in Arya
Kamandanu's room.
"Ah, maybe Dinda Sekar has gone home. I better rest!�, thought Jambu Nada.
As soon as Jambu Nada entered her cubicle, she was surprised to see that the
beautiful virgin had fallen asleep on her soft bed.
"Haiyah, apparently sleeping here!", murmured Jambu Nada smiling.
The beautiful virgin's body was blooming at the age of seventeen, it was covered by
Jambu Nada using her rough blanket.
�Hmm, he's afraid to sleep alone. I'm just under bed. I hope Dinda Sekar gets out
of bed when he wakes up and doesn't step on my body!�, thought Jambu Nada.
The young man ended up sleeping under his bed on some rough cloth.
